Anybody got a link to the story?

Honestly, yeah. They ended that to protect pedos. It wasn’t working for everybody, but it’s over now. See if they like what’s next.

Wait, are you dismissing the impact of pandemic as the single biggest factor in handheld sales from 2020-2021?

Do these companies ever start paying taxes in these countries?

Would switch 1 have done anywhere near what it did without pandemic? Every last model of the DS is still incredibly expensive on the aftermarket, due to pandemic. Before that used consoles of previous generations were pretty readily available at cheap prices.

Point being if pandemic made even a bygone generation of handhelds revitalized and holding value for 5 years. It’s impact on Switch 1 sales cannot be underestimated.

We’ll see how the holidays go for Switch 2 without the power of FOMO and existential nomadic existence.

Lies. Dudes like that don’t own a second chair.

Yes definitely. It’s not that unusual even.

I love my Ally X deck. That’s why I didn’t buy a Thor. I can run emulators on that. I’m afraid to take it anywhere. And yeah, it feels more like the weight of a musical instrument than a handheld device.

It’s loading a lot of content locally, and very very slowly before you can even use it.

Do not forget, while this claims OpenAI is Trump’s biggest donor, it’s not just AI but tech in general that paid Donald Trump to do this to us.

Facebook, Instagram, Amazon, Meta, Google, Microsoft, Audible, Spotify, X… These are also among Trump’s biggest donors on inauguration day.

If they invented a powersource capable of generating enough energy for all human needs… I have a feeling it would be used to power datacenters instead.

And the right will use this media frenzy to further their anti-immigrant agendas.

What they did in the US is highlight criminals, then use that confusion and outrage to allow them to target all immigrants. So be really careful how you respond to what is being pushed to you about this. If your gut is telling you it doesn’t sound right, or it doesn’t align with your direct experience, be very careful you are not being used to condemn.

Magic The Gathering cards were the NFTs of our generation

Maybe regardless of what happens in 3 years time, right now the entire system is corrupt and you think we’re more likely to get justice now? Any testimony now would be useless. Maybe it will never be useful, but running the trial for Trump’s friends while he is president will not result in justice being served.

It’s healthy to have that core value imo. I’m happy enough to work around that vs the algorithms we have normalized.

Lol me too!! After I looked I wasn’t too interested. Also crazy you mentioned Thor, that’s the device I don’t need that I can’t stop thinking about.

All I’m looking for in life is a little peace to mind

I think if a products budget is mostly spent on marketing it might be worth a miss.

If this means the device is usuable and reasonably secure for 5 years, this is fine.

It precisely means that is not going to be the case.
